Makena State Park

Located just south of Wailea, it contains three separate beaches and a dormant volcanic cinder cone.

Big Beach is 1.5 miles (2.4 km) long and more than 100 feet (30 m) wide.

The "Makena cloud" that stretches from the top of Haleakalā to Kahoʻolawe is often overhead, cooling the sand.

On Sunday afternoons/evenings Little Beach is host to celebratory drumming and fire dancing.

[1] Puʻu Ōlaʻi is a dormant volcanic cinder cone in the center of the park with a height of 360 feet (110 m).
